Pumps Being Pulled From Flooding City Neighborhoods Over Costs
Homeowners Frustrated Over City's Actions
Days after Tropical Storm Fay moved out of Central Florida, streets in DeBary are still described as rivers. Homeowners are losing everything as floodwaters continue to rise.Tuesday, more than 20 of nearly 100 pumping trucks will be pulled out of the area. A company told residents that the city of DeBary said they have no more money to pay them.Residents said they were frustrated, blaming the city for a lack of action."We are exhausted," homeower Jeff Morosetti said. "We have been going around the clock and we've been up since Friday morning. We need help. Nobody cares."Neighbors said they were led to believe that their property was in a low-risk area.One of the water-pumping companies said it planned to pull all of their trucks from the area Tuesday.The mayor said the city is doing the best it can to remove water from neighborhoods Tuesday.
Worst Yet To Come?
Meanwhile, the areas around the St. Johns River may have not seen the worst of the flooding. The swollen river is not expected to stop rising until late Wednesday.Homeowners in the Lake Harney area are bracing for more of Fay's flooding.As many as 500 homes could be evacuated if the waters continue to rise, Local 6 reported Tuesday.Flooding Moves Polling Places
Fay's floodwaters in parts of Central Florida have forced officials to move polling locations for Tuesday's primary elections.Voters who normally vote at the First Baptist Church of DeLeon Springs will instead go to the Lions Club at 4949 Billings Ave.Also, voters at Sanfords Memorial stadium will go to the Civic Center at 401 East Seminole Blvd.In Melbourne, polls at the Lamplighter Village recreation building will be moved to the Howard Johnson in West Melbourne.And in Satellite Beach, the pools at Sea Park Elementary are moving to Trinity Presbyterian at 638 S.
